Tomorrow the hanging baskets go up in Chipping Sodbury High Street.
We are starting at 10 am, so if you have ordered yours expect us between 10 and 12. If you are able to help us by hanging your own that would be great, but we will put them up if not. Thank you to our volunteers from Sodbury in Bloom and Rotary who are coming to help.

Well deserved, Rich. Thank you for your continued support of Sodbury in Bloom.

Awards were also given to the wonderful Wendy Whittle for her fabulous Charity work, and to Sue & Steve Febry for their ongoing and much appreciated work in Chipping Sodbury and Yate!
Well done and Congratulations to you all. 🏆👏

We had a busy morning filling the containers that go around the clock tower, above the Tourist Office. Thanks to everyone who carried bags of compost, selected the many plants and got them all planted ready to go up next week.

At the Community Garden we've got potatoes and carrots coming on nicely, some slightly timid peas, and broad beans already growing pods. We've also recently sown runner beans, parsnips, french beans and broccoli, as well as planting out some plants donated by our volunteers including courgettes, tomatoes and strawberries. If anything the raspberry is a little too enthusiastic for our liking, springing up all over the shop! Looking forward to a decent crop of fruit though.
If you'd like to come and see what we're doing in the garden in person, come along to our open day on 13th June. You can find full details on the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1010267798002820/
